This circle boundary layer case

involves a heat source being applied to the inner boundary of

demonstrates the method of manufactured solutions in which an analytical heat source is derived from an analytical expression of the thermal boundary layer. This derived heat source is applied to a vortex flow around a circular annulus of radius r = [ 1 , 2 ]

. The

the analytical thermal boundary layer

condition which is a function of r and θ. The applied heat source on the inner boundary is a function of r and θ
